Question

What’s the best airport to fly into?

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

-Creative Black Tie with a Western Flair: Think elevated and festive. Feel free to break out a touch of Western charm: bolo ties, cowboy boots, fringe, suede, or hats welcome. Glamorous meets cowboy chic. -The ceremony will be outdoors on uneven terrain, so comfortable shoes are a must (cowboy boots welcome). The reception will be held indoors. October weather in Northern New Mexico can be unpredictable—pack layers!
